Abstract:
A land-grid array die package socket is configured for low- or zero insertion-force assembly with a land-grid array die package. For zero insertion-force assembly, a motion plate applies a force on a land-grid array contact that causes a contact tip to move into protective cover while the die package is inserted into the socket. After zero insertion-force assembly, the motion plate applies a force on the land-grid array contact that causes the contact tip to deflect in a positive-Z direction until a useful contact is made at the contact tip with a land-grid array pad.

Abstract:
The substrate of an integrated circuit component comprises a cutout that extends fully or partially through the substrate. An edge of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) in the integrated circuit component is coplanar with a wall of the cutout or extends into the cutout. An optical fiber in an FAU is aligned with a waveguide within the PIC and the FAU is attached to the PIC edge and an attachment block. The attachment block provides an increased attachment surface area for the FAU. A portion of the FAU extends into the substrate cutout. A stress relief mechanism can secure the fiber optic cable attached to the FAU to the substrate to at least partially isolate the FAU-PIC attachment from external mechanical forces applied to the optical fiber cable. The integrated circuit component can be attached to a socket that comprises a socket cutout into which an FAU can extend.

Embodiments disclosed herein include optical packages. In an embodiment, an optical package comprises a package substrate, where the package substrate comprises a recessed edge. In an embodiment, a compute die is on the package substrate, and an optics die on the package substrate and overhanging the recessed edge of the package substrate. In an embodiment, an integrated heat spreader (IHS) is over the compute die and the optics die. In an embodiment, a lid covers the recess in the package substrate.
Abstract:
Embodiments include semiconductor packages and a method to form such packages. A semiconductor package includes first and second bottom dies on a package substrate. The semiconductor package includes first top dies on the first bottom die, second top dies on the second bottom die, and a pedestal on the first and second bottom dies. The pedestal comprises a high thermal conductive material and is positioned on a region of top surfaces of the first and second bottom dies. The semiconductor package includes an encapsulation layer over the first and second bottom dies, and surrounds the first and second top dies and the pedestal. The semiconductor package includes a TIM over the first and second top dies, pedestal, and encapsulation layer, and an integrated heat spreader (IHS) over the TIM. The pedestal is on a periphery region of the top surfaces of the first and second bottom dies.
Abstract:
A multi-chip package includes a substrate (110) having a first side (111), an opposing second side (112), and a third side (213) that extends from the first side to the second side, a first die (120) attached to the first side of the substrate and a second die (130) attached to the first side of the substrate, and a bridge (140) adjacent to the third side of the substrate and attached to the first die and to the second die. No portion of the substrate is underneath the bridge. The bridge creates a connection between the first die and the second die. Alternatively, the bridge may be disposed in a cavity (615, 915) in the substrate or between the substrate and a die layer (750). The bridge may constitute an active die and may be attached to the substrate using wirebonds (241, 841, 1141, 1541).
